Analyzing Design Considerations for Disassembly of Spent Nuclear Fuel during Head-End Process of Pyroprocessing

We have developed a practical-scale dry disassembling process to dismantle PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) spent nuclear fuel assembly in the order of several tens of kilograms of heavy metal/batch to supply rod-cuts (cladding tube and UO2 pellets) for mechanical decladding process. Dry head-end dis...
